150+ Catholic Groups Sign Trudeau's Pro-Abortion Pledge, Some Retract 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite NEWS ABORTION, CATHOLIC CHURCH, POLITICS - CANADA Mon May 21, 2018 - 11:10 am EST 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract TORONTO, May 21, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — When Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government brought in a pro-abortion attestation requirement for Canada Summer Jobs grants, Canada’s Catholic bishops were quick to collectively and individually condemn the move. The Canadian Catholic Conference of Bishops denounced the attestation as “unacceptable,” as did individual bishops, and Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto and Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa were notably clear Catholics could not sign it. “We cannot affirm that we support a (non-existent) right to abortion, which is what the euphemism ‘reproductive rights’ means,” wrote Prendergast in January in the Ottawa Sun. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-catholic-groups-sign-trudeaus-pro-abortion-pledge-some-retract 1/6 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite “We didn’t start this controversy,” Collins told Vatican Radio in February. “We’re trying to be cooperative, but we cannot check off the box.” But despite this, at least 157 identifiably Catholic groups have done just that, according to the database of Canada Summer Job grant recipients for 2018, available online for some weeks. Of these, the majority — 107, or 68 percent — are parishes, but charities, school boards, religious orders, hospitals, a day care, and care homes are also listed. (For complete LifeSiteNews list, go here.) Most of the groups are from Quebec (45) and Atlantic Canada (73). Given Service Canada’s scrupulosity in enforcing the new requirement — figures tabled last week in the House of Commons show 1,559 groups of 42,780 applicants were rejected over “attestation” issues — and absent any evidence to the contrary, it must be concluded the groups signed the attestation. Give back the money, say bishops At least three bishops have asked Catholic groups pointblank to return the funds since the Canada Summer Job database has gone public, the Catholic Register reported last week. They are Bishop Brian Dunn of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Bishop Anthony Daniels of Grand Falls, Newfoundland, and Bishop Stephen Chmilar of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Toronto Eastern Canada. “Parishes and other Catholic entities cannot make this attestation without contradicting our Right to Life stance,” Daniels wrote in a statement to parishes. It is “incumbent” on parishes recently approved “to return the Notice of Approval with a brief note stating that the Attestation was made in error and the application must be withdrawn.” It appears his directive was heeded by the six Grand Falls parishes initially listed on the database. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-catholic-groups-sign-trudeaus-pro-abortion-pledge-some-retract 2/6 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite They have now disappeared, but not, unfortunately, before a pro-abortion blogger gleefully displayed a screenshot of their names, with the derisive comment: “Make up you mind, guys.” We’re keeping the money, say some LifeSiteNews contacted the groups to ask if the attestation was signed in error, and if the grants would be cancelled. Four wrote back to say, either ruefully, neutrally, or adamantly that they were keeping the money. Bertin LeBlanc wrote that the parish council of Sainte-Marie from Sainte-Marie-de-Kent, in the diocese of Moncton, knew of the “requirements as far as the respect of reproductive rights” and “unanimously accepted to sign the application for a summer job.” A representative in the neighboring Ste. Anne-de-Kent parish wrote she checked off the attestation without paying attention. The priest was “very upset” about the attestation but “we need summer jobs help and money therefore we will accept the money.” However, Moncton’s Archbishop Valéry Vienneau told LifeSiteNews that following a meeting with his priests Thursday, he’s directing parishes to cancel the grants. “I sent a memo saying we’re asking all parishes to refuse the money, and I’m asking them to make known to their parishioners why, the reason for the refusal, and also to alleviate the situation, to possibly encourage organizations to raise funds for some projects for the young people,” he said. “I feel it is terrible the way the government has come up with this idea of putting those clauses in there,” Vienneau added. “They’re promoting their own ideology and why should we have to submit to the government’s ideology?” Fr. Michel Bouchard of Sainte-Rose-de-Lima in Laval, Quebec, said the parish applied before knowing about the attestation. Since the “students are already involved” in a bazaar project and “we are committed to them,” they are keeping the grants. “If the clause is maintained next year, we will not ask for funding,” he added. St. Joseph’s Supper Table, based in St. Joseph’s Parish in Ottawa, applied for the grants at the urging of their Liberal MP Mona Fortier, wrote manager Andrew Pump. The parish’s Women’s Center was rejected but not the Supper Table, and since it is “a meal program we felt that the issue about the attestation wasn’t relevant to our ministry of feeding the poor and our need for funds to do this,” he told LifeSiteNews in an email. “We did, however, register our concern with our MP about the wording of the attestation.” https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-catholic-groups-sign-trudeaus-pro-abortion-pledge-some-retract 3/6 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite Ottawa’s Archbishop Prendergast was travelling and unable to comment, spokesperson Sr. Monique Bisson told LifeSiteNews. We’re giving back the money, say others To date, 30 Catholic groups told LifeSiteNews they are cancelling the grants. These include: three Quebec parishes, seven Atlantic Canada parishes, Catholic Family Services and Catholic Crosscultural Services in Toronto, St Boniface Hospital and St. Boniface Cathedral Parish in Winnipeg, Covenant Health in Alberta, Catholic Family Services in Regina, the French Catholic School boards MonAvenir in Toronto, and Grande Rivières in Timmins, School Sisters of Notre Dame in Waterdown, La Storta Jesuits in Pickering, and the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB). The Waterloo Catholic District School Board objected to the attestation in a February letter to the ministry, wrote WCDSB managing officer John Shewchuk. “The Board being listed on the website appears to be some sort of clerical error” and it has “contacted the government to rectify the situation,” he added. “We uphold Catholic values and have withdrawn our application for the Canada Summer Jobs Program,” wrote Donna Harris, senior communications advisor for Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto. “Catholic Crosscultural Services is not accepting any summer jobs funding from Service Canada this year,” wrote Ramya Ramanathan, marketing and communications manager. “As a Catholic school board, we remain supportive of Cardinal Collins’ position and have taken appropriate measures in this regard,” wrote Mikale-Andrée Joly, director of corporate relations for Conseil Scolaire Catholique MonAvenir, Toronto. “Because we definitely want to respect the values of our board, we are not accepting the grants,” noted Richard Loiselle, communication director for Conseil Scolaire de District des Grandes Rivières Catholic School Board in Timmins. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-catholic-groups-sign-trudeaus-pro-abortion-pledge-some-retract 4/6 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite As for Catholic Family Services and Camp Monahan in Regina, “a lack of clear communication between the Archdiocese of Regina and Catholic organizations resulted in two organizations in the archdiocese agreeing to the attestation, and being awarded summer job grants,” wrote Archbishop Donald Bolen in a statement to LifeSiteNews. “Boards of many Catholic organizations function autonomously, even while being guided by Catholic values. Both have subsequently made the decision to turn down the grants. We as an Archdiocese support their efforts to find funding through other means,” he noted. “With Catholics throughout the country, I am opposed to the attestation required in this year’s Summer grant application, because it links ideological support for abortion with funding for student summer jobs,” wrote Bolen. Attestation signed as an oversight A number of groups said they signed the attestation as an oversight, or in the expectation that the Liberals would drop the requirement. “Most certainly the attestation box was, checked in error! The grant will definitely NOT be accepted. Bishop Steven Chmilar’s statement clarified that we will not support the government ideology on this issue!” wrote Fr. Peter Bodnar of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Development Corporation, Sudbury. “Our application for the grant was an oversight on our part and will be withdrawn immediately. We will not accept the funding,” stated Fr. Paul MacNeil of Our Lady of the Scapular Parish in Niagara Falls. “I was expecting the government to change its unacceptable request. Since they persist, I am sending a notice that we do not accept the CSJ funding and the unsupportable requirements for funding,” wrote Father Louis-Joseph Boudreau, c.s.c., of Paroisse Ste-Thérèse d’Avila, Cap-Pelé, New Brunswick. “It was our hope that this issue would be resolved by the federal government by the time that the grants were awarded. Unfortunately, that has not happened and we have therefore declined the grant. The grass will be tall at Stella Maris Parish this summer,” stated Murdock MacPherson from Creignish, Nova Scotia. “No, we will not be taking the funding and my feelings are that this is ridiculous – Thought he was a better man,” wrote Sheila Pelly, from St.

  • Saint Francis Xavier Relic Touches Tens of Thousands, Reaches out to Millions Coast to Coast
    Saint Francis Xavier relic touches tens of thousands, reaches out to millions coast to coast Ottawa, February 3, 2018 – Saint Francis Xavier’s right forearm is returning to its normal ​ resting place in Rome after an exceptionally busy month of mission in Canada. The major relic of one of history’s most prolific and renowned international missionaries travelled to 15 Canadian cities between December 26, 2017 and February 3, 2018 as part of a visit organized by the Archdiocese of Ottawa, the Jesuits of Canada and Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) to celebrate Canada’s 150th year and CCO’s 30th year. “The response from pilgrims across the country has been overwhelming,” says Terrence Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa. "Attendance at these events has been a wonderful witness of the faith in Canada and I have been touched myself by my experience of the relic.” Organizers estimate that more than 70,000 Canadians made the special pilgrimage to see, touch and pray with the sacred relic while millions more learned about the saint and the practice of veneration through headlines and news reports in media across the country. It has been a very busy month of events, and the close of the tour is especially emotional. “It’s going to be tough to say goodbye,” said D’Arcy Murphy, the guardian of the relic during its time in Canada. “Saint Francis really feels like a close friend, and the memories of this experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. It has been a very powerful month.” “It has been incredible to watch Saint Francis Xavier inspire so many Canadians in their faith,” says Angèle Regnier, co-founder of CCO.

  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.

  • A Day for Catechists
    November 2013 A day for Catechists “Let us ask the Lord that we may all be men and women who keep the memory of God alive in ourselves, and are able to awaken it in the hearts of others.” Pope Francis – Vatican City, Concluding Mass of the World Day of Catechists, September 30, 2013 Catechists from across the Diocese of Pembroke recently gathered to not only celebrate their faith, but to learn and share with each other the common path they have taken to bring others closer to God. “This is an event for catechists to gather that the diocese is sponsoring,” explains Jason Dedo, Director of Faith Formation and Leadership Development. “It’s more of a formation day. It’s for their own reflection; to hear about some topics that would be of consequence to them working in their ministry. It’s a day for parish catechists who are working in areas of The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, working in a Family Formation program, or working with the Sacramental Initiation process for children who are preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation or the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There’s a healthy mixture of new catechists, some who have been involved for a little bit, and some who are quite seasoned.” Throughout the day, participants had an opportunity to listen to guest speakers, including Bishop Michael Mulhall. As well, catechists had an opportunity to meet and interact with their fellow catechists from a variety of parishes. More than 50 participants from across the diocese attended a catechists’ day at “In some ways, catechists in parishes may feel like they’re working in isolation,” Most Holy Name of Jesus in Pembroke.

  • Ottawa Priest Ordained As Papal Nuncio
    Ottawa priest ordained as papal nuncio Celebrating the feast of St. Joseph, Pope Francis ordained three new bishops who will serve as papal nuncios, or ambassadors. The new bishops are: Archbishop Jose Bettencourt, a priest of the Archdiocese of Ottawa and former head of diplomatic protocol for the Vatican; Archbishop Alfred Xuereb, a Maltese who was general secretary of the Vatican Secretariat for the Economy and had served as assistant personal secretary to Pope Benedict XVI; and Archbishop Waldemar Sommertag, a career Vatican diplomat from Poland. Archbishop Bettencourt will be nuncio to Georgia and Armenia; Archbishop Xuereb will take up posts as the nuncio to South Korea and to Mongolia; and Archbishop Sommertag will serve as nuncio to Nicaragua. “I am really excited with my new service to the Church,” Archbishop Bettencourt told Canadian Catholic News in an email. “First, and foremost, I am a priest like any other who has been asked to render a particular kind of service to the church—as a diplomat.” Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast welcomed the ordination. “I was thrilled for him; this is the key type of service that he has been training for in the church,” the archbishop said. “He has enjoyed his work in charge of protocol, but it is an extremely demanding office and he has done it very well.” “It required him to withdraw from even the limited parish ministry he would do in Roman parishes and I believe he missed that,” he said. “This will give him an opportunity for “pastoral” work on a different level.
